Preferential suppression of Anopheles gambiae host sequences allows detection of the mosquito eukaryotic microbiome
Abstract Anopheles mosquitoes are vectors of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. The vector microbiota is a likely factor influencing parasite transmission. The prokaryotic microbiota of mosquitoes is efficiently surveyed by sequencing of hypervariable regions of the 16s ribosomal RNA...
